life in polaroid ll
i just can’t stop experimenting with this polaroid software. these photos i took on a trip to strassbourg in the fall with niller and his sister brinja and her husband anders. it’s brinja and anders in the second last photo collecting chestnuts.

wonderful pictures!

they look so super! especially i like the middle one. looks somehow so unreal, in dream woods.

vera: hello and thanks! : ) it’s amazing how different these images look from the originals which really didn’t stand out.
outi: thanks, i particularly like the forest one too - looks so 70’s i think and kind of surreal/dreamlike because of the colours.

Thanks for the tip Morten!
And Lea the pictures are beautiful. Those trees in the middle picture look incredible tall.

I think I better don’t download this programm as I see the addicion potential it can have!
the pictures are wonderful!
(I’m quite sure it will end up I’ll try it out myself…)

brinja: thanks, i like the one of you and anders and yes the trees look so tall!
jeanette: you really should download. only thing i find a little bit strange about it is that if you feed the program with the same photo twice they end up having completely different colours…i thought that it gave the photo a shade depending on the colour scheme it had already…but it seems random - but hey maybe that’s the point : )

poladroid software is ADDICTING.

erin: thanks - i’m glad you like it : )
lina: it is so addictive! my next step is to try if i can make the same effect in photoshop…but it will probably be difficult.

the polaroids have a great suggestive athmosphere, it looks like the eighties. I remember my own childhood.

hello vogelschar! i have a suspicion that’s why i like polaroids too - being a child of the 80s! it really does have a very nostalgic atmosphere

These are so cool. They are so hip and look just like my parents in big brown sweaters in the woods right before they were dragged down by me.

anna: hi hi my parents also looked like that
